You already had my complete sympathy at that point.
... and then you mentioned Crystal. 
High time we all had a whip-round for Sander, I feel. How can we sleep at night if we fail to save him from this?

Oh you poor bugger, I used to be a highly skilled CR developer but when a manager from Crystal called to ask if a problem I had reported 18 months ago was still current I changed to SSRS.
Then I delegated all reporting to a junior developer.

I once inherited a project which doesn't even run when compiled as release, only as debug. And another one with a couple hundreds (not kidding) warnings. My point is, while I feel your pain, I am not shocked in the slightest.

Wow, don't think I've seen that before!

Been there done that, turning on Option Strict in this project generates at least 100 errors.

Sounds like you need to use multiple inheritance and give it to someone else.

Add in .NET 1.1 and you described a project I once inherited. I'm now with another company party because of that project.

I'll just hide in the corner over there.....sounds like something I wrote under protest in '06.

Inspired by , [^], but taking a totally different path. Assumes you found a worthy organization.
My view of the 'blessings' of giving charity is pretty simple: There is no greater blessing one could hope for than to never miss the money.

The truth behind charity is that for "most" charities, up to half of the donated money goes to overhead and cost of running the charity and the rest actually goes to the intended target, which can be considerably less than what you thought you were donating.
Always try to donate to charities with low overhead and well documented $$ to target streams.

I already do St Jude Hospital.
Similarly, the Shrine Hospitals. A few others.
"Nechama[^]" - they were there after Sandy - gutted my house for me.
They're everywhere.
Assorted others.

Thanks for link on "Nechama". I will have to look into that.
My wife and I contribute to St. Jude Hospital as well as the Ronald McDonald House Charities: Ronald McDonald House Charities[^] consistently, among others that we are not so consistent on.
